Category: Knitting

Type of item: Functional

For: Other

Style: Traditional, Classic


Materials

wool

What was your inspiration?

I was asked to give a cable workshop at a local library and needed a way to teach right leaning cables, left leaning cables, mock cables and horseshoe cables in a short 2 hour course!

What are you most proud of?

The versatility of the created sqaure.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Use light color 100% wool and remmeber to block it. Your cables will show up much better in the light color and the 100% wool will block properly so you can really see the stitch definition.

Cables are fun and really very easy. I was intimidated by them for years but now I just love them.

Do you have a workshop on here? I am new to knitting and do not know how to do the cable knit.
